As is the case with other European countries where fascist and
Islamist fundamentalist forces have joined forces, there is increasing
evidence that the riots that have swept France for a week and a half
have been far more than spontaneous reactions to the electrocution at
a Paris electrical sub-station of two Muslim teens who were escaping
police. With an ailing President Jacques Chirac stepping down in 2007,
the battle lines have been drawn between two conservative presidential
candidates -- Interior Minister Nicolas Sarzoky (nicknamed "Sarko"), a
confirmed neo-con in the tradition of fellow travelers in Italy,
Britain, Denmark, the Netherlands, Israel, and Spain, and Prime
Minister Dominique de Villepin. Sarkozy has inflamed Muslims and other
minorities in France by describing ghetto youths in broad pejorative
terms such as "riff-raff" and "scum." While Sarkozy has inflamed the
situation with his anti-immigrant rhetoric, de Villepin has sought to
mollify the situation by not wanting to overreact and create more
turmoil.

However, with rioting spreading beyond Paris to the north and south of
the country and extending beyond young Muslims to unemployed African,
Afro-Caribbean, and white young people, the situation is being used by
Sarkozy to blame "Jihadist conspiracists" for coordinating the
rioting. Sarkozy has strong links to the Likud Party in Israel and the
neo-cons in the Bush administration and the Blair government in
London. The neo-con media conglomerates such as Rupert Murdoch's News
Corporation and the Hollinger Group are blaming the violence on
France's relative tolerance of its large Muslim population. The neo-
con media is also playing up reports that French rioters are
proclaiming that they are turning Paris into "Baghdad." The always
reprehensible neo-con racist Mark Steyn, who pens his vile hate-filled
garbage for the Chicago Sun Times and other neo-con rags, writes that
the rioting youths are not really French but Arabs taking advantage of
Jacques Chirac's "weakness" on Iraq.

What is happening in France has all the signs of yet another possible
neo-con "false flag" operation in the same category as the Niger
fraudulent uranium documents, the provocative actions of Israeli
agents in New Jersey who were dressed up as Arabs during the morning
of 9-11, unexplained Spanish and British government activities
surrounding the train bombings in Madrid and London, and recent deadly
bombings in Delhi during Hindu and Muslim holidays attributed to a
previously unknown Kashmiri group.

The possibility that neo-cons and their fascist allies are
manipulating the violence in France to their own advantage has the net
result of bringing France into the neo-con's oft-stated goal of a
"Clash of Civilizations" between the West and the Muslim world. The
likes of Mark Steyn are already insidiously referring to the Frankish-
Muslim 732 Battle of Tours between a Moorish army and the forces of
Charles Martel. Reasonable political leaders in France should realize
that France is being used to ratchet up tension in Europe and distract
attention away from recent reports of US secret prison camps and
torture centers in Eastern Europe and additional proof that the neo-
cons conspired to push the United States into a disastrous war in
Iraq. Already, the neo-con media is blaming the violence in France on
Islamic terrorists -- a stock phrase for the neo-cons in Washington,
London, Jerusalem, Rome, and the French Interior Ministry allies of
Sarkozy.
